The Necks (AUS) - Kufstein

The Necks are one of Australia's great cult bands. An acoustic piano trio like you've never heard before. A magical musical experience with Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass)

Press reviews:

• New York Times
  "One of the greatest bands in the world."
• The Times, United Kingdom
  "It's pretty safe to say that no other group in the world sounds like The Necks... extraordinary empathy and discipline."
• Geoff Dyer's book "Working the Room"
  "The Necks are sometimes categorised as a jazz trio - which is fine, as long as this is immediately qualified by adding that they have completely reimagined the idea of the jazz trio."
• Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Zurich, Switzerland
  "The three have developed their own, unmistakable language. Above all, The Necks are masters of dynamics. You only really understand the changes in retrospect."
• New York City Jazz Record
  "No other trio can even come close to entering a similar sonic realm.... It's almost as if their music is detached from conventional human touch and comes from an unknown abstract source."
• Los Angeles Times "This Australian group is a magical act, masquerading as a piano trio and delivering long improvisations that move with a beauty so patient it's a bit like a trance. Rarely does an hour pass so quickly - and with such reward."
